Hi there suehut,
This cache has been flagged by Geocaching HQ as a cache that **MAY** need some attention.
You may recall having received an automated email from Geocaching HQ which explained what you needed to do.
Unfortunately, nothing seems to have happened, so the cache is being temporarily disable - see here: [**Geocache Health Score.**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713)
**You do need to respond to this enquiry in some way within 14 days, so others know you are on top of it, as well as indicating exactly what is happening with this placement - please don't let a lack of communication scuttle this listing.**
#What should you do now:-#
You have a number of choices so pick the one that applies from this handy list:-
- **Check On The Cache:-** Visit the cache to check, repair, replace or do whatever else is needed, post an [**Owner Maintenance log**](http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404) indicating the cache has been checked and [**ENABLE your cache.**](https://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 ) Then sit back and wait for the logs of praise to roll in.
- **Place A Write Note Log:-** Reviewers are not mind readers, so without your note on the cache page explaining that the site works are on-going, or you have been in hospital, or the area is in flood, they can't tell what is going on with the cache.
So please just post a note to the page (within 14 days) and when a Reviewer next looks at the listing, all will be fine for a little bit longer.
**Be sure to indicate the actual date that you expect to have it fixed so that everyone knows you are on top of it. If you have a long term unavailable cache (where you don't have an actual date) please ensure you visit the page and post a note every 4 to 6 weeks, so as to keep everyone up to speed.**
- **Adopt/Archive:-** If you don't plan on fixing it then you could consider passing it on to another Geocacher by asking them to [**Adopt it**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=54) or alternatively, you need to [**Archive it,**](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=56) so it is removed from searches and someone else can have the spot. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your previously enjoyed cache too.
You might wonder what happens if you don't pick one of the above. Well, when the cache is next checked by a Reviewer, if the issue has not been addressed, or there is no acknowledgment as requested above, it will be assumed the cache has been abandoned and processed accordingly.
Honestly, it's better for you to decide, so please do something before then. Please don't send me an email but instead follow the information/advice posted above.
Thanks for your cooperation,

Think I checked every available hole within 15m of gz. Including the one with pile of sticks that would have been used as camo.
Great spot. On a mission to find a golden oldie. It’s some time since I’ve been here MTB riding so it’s great to be on the loose now that regional Vic can. Having said that, it feels weird to leave home base. Love this forest which is so different to NE Vic. TFTC and the fun!
Wildflowers are out right now and this is a gorgeous place to be. Luckily no wriggly beasts observed either but I suspect they won't be too far away again. Nice little hide.
A short stroll to GZ had us finding this one in a flash, stamped the log - TFTC

Well, I was going to spend a day of the upcoming weekend in and around Geelong... but as we're all about to be restricted to a 5km radius around our homes for a week as of midnight, taking the opportunity of a good hike while I was still allowed became a priority.
But where?
The Dandenongs were considered, but a look at the weather fronts set to crash against the hills made that not a very fun prospect. The You Yangs, however...
And that's how I made it inside the gates half an hour before they closed.
With an evening comprising a bit of bush bashing, some fun trails, the Great Circle Drive, and the obligatory hike to the top of Flinders Peak (for the view... Ha! Even the lights of Geelong weren't visible through the mist), some long awaited smileys were attained.
The last finds in the park were short walks from close parking on my way to the exit. This was the second of those.
Thanks, suehut

I loved this it was verry fun this is my 2 one and I hope to beat my nana in finds
How I found the energy to do this after the gruelling grade 4 hike I’ve just been on I’ll never know
But when you’re in the vicinity you’re just gotta do it. Fantastic big container. Left another one of my painted rocks.

A quick find today after some on the hill and the climb to the top for the TrigPoint.
Took nothing, left nothing.
Thanks for placing this geocache here for us to find today. It's geocachers who hide geocaches that make the game fun for everyone.

Nicely located in a spacious hidey hole. Most of the camo paint has come off the container, so I placed a little natural camo. TFTC
TFTC suehut all good at GZ.
TNLN.
Great day for a stroll in the You Yangs. Lucky to have our grandson and his sharp eyes with us.

Found nice and quickly, spotted the location all the way on the track, found with two non premium caches. I’d like to say that there were heaps of spiders in the container. So watch out fellow caches and be careful! Tftc
Took a while, nice and challenging. Cache had been left upside down with the lid off so contents were all over the ground. Packed it all up as best as I could. TFTC.
Was a bit lost at GZ until I read the hint then 30 seconds later I had found cache 152. TFTC
Hi there suehut.
We found your cache **"Lower Picnic Area 6"** today. (This makes our find count 24183).
We headed to the You Yangs today. it was great to venture out and enjoy the sunshine because the weather forecast for the next few days is rather bleak. We had a successful day & found 11 caches & DNF'd 0 .
Over the years, Geocaching has taken us on many adventures and to lots of wonderful destinations all over Australia. Without 'caching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our nomadic wanderings. 'Caching has also introduced us to a diverse group of like-minded people, many of whom we now call friends.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape, but slightly damp.
**Took:** Nothing
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thank you for placing this cache here & adding to our adventure. Thanks also for not placing a mint tin or a 200ml Sistema here. It made us feel really good to find this "special" cache here.
Regards
Ian & Penny

First time family geocaching. We all loved it. Was a great first time find, not too hard, but kids still needed to look around well. Signed book as Cameron Clan. Tftc.
Saw it from some distance as was out in the open, tucked it away a bit more hidden. Tftc
found on our Geo Adventure with the Geo Kids and KeepinUpWitDaJones TNLN TFTC
Nice little hide . Found on a second attempt. Last time i mainly look like 25m away . But this time had more luck with the gps haha tftc
TFTC. After filling another date in our Ausmer grid, we slowly made our way down to the park exist, but first we stopped off at a couple of picnic areas to find the caches.
This was our 4th search for the day ... it too us a bit of time but finally rereading the clue and ignoring the GPS .. My friend found it .. great stuff .. thank you 
Had a great day with the geohound doing the East-West Walk. Stopped for three park and grabs on the way out - this was the first.
Interesting bit of old road nearby and the hints of previous fires all around. We homed in on the cache and found it safe and sound.

Spent the day at the You Yangs today with wyndam kinders- a walk on country day, we arrived early to grab this one before the days events
Spent the morning at the local rifle range and decided to continue with “Mystery at the Museum”. This was the last of stage 2. As the hint suggested, I originally went to the wrong tree, but with a little hunting found the cache nice and easy.
Out with Spiffy- and the caches warmed us up quick. Thanks to suehut for the placement and fun.

We have been meaning to come to the You Yangs park for some time so we had a fair few hours to today so Fleabag- and I decided to concentrate on the main loop and the 100's & 1,000's challenge cache but when we arrived the whole road was closed off due to yesterday's heavy rain. Oh well, we headed off for some different ones since I have never been in this area and there were plenty of other caches to look for.
After hour plans had changed we decided to do this nice little loop of caches and a bonus for Fleabag was that there were a few regular size container which he was trying to build his count up on. No problems on any of the finds except for a few minutes at the terrain 3 one.
Thanks suehut for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

Out for a drive with the geopups. Saw a few planes from the airshow.
I initially did bark up the wrong tree but soon found the nice size hide.
Thanks suehut

First visit to the You Yangs in many years . Lovely spot and we had a great day, sighting some Kangaroos, Wallabies, Hawks, and even some wild goats, along with some great scenery and some great caches.
Thanks for this one Suehut.
Thanks for this one Suehut.
Hops grudgingly agreed to grab this one with me on the way back to the car. The hot weather and walking tired both Hops and Reggie the geowhippet out quickly today. Reggie spotted two kangaroos on the way to this cache and got the fright of his little life! Don’t think he’d ever seen an another animal that can jump as high as him. Gps led us astray with this one but Hops broadened the search area and grabbed quickly. Tftc!
This was my last free weekend day whilst Tarbit was holidaying overseas and so a plan was hatched to tackle some caches in the You Yangs with SirJ-Oz. As per usual I did the driving and he did the navigating. Once we realised the Circle Drive was closed to vehicles we altered our original plans and decided to target a few other caches around the park. After a lengthy hike we were back in the car here and were able to stop off for this one. After a short walk the cache was spotted. Took nothing, dropped a TB that I'd brought from SA, signed log and visited some other trackables. Thanks for the cache and this series in a great location suehut.
